Thread: Patch 5.4 Trailer, Predictions, and Hints

I'm fully expecting a final battle for 6.3 (at the latest) where we're full Unsundered mode and fight the final boss of the expansion like that...just to get a time skip (months, years?) immediately afterwards where we exit wherever the fight was depowered and having lost (probably willingly) the shards we had been using (process took a while though). Would allow for a new political foe or power to come into play and also explain why we don't just easily end whatever threat it is, we just gave up the power and don't have it anymore, so we have to do things the old fashioned way again.

I expect this not to happen. As Hydaelyn would want to have all the shards resplit to prevent reviving Zodiark (after his 2nd defeat). This theory only works if Zodiark can never be summoned again, but we all know primals can always be resummoned...

It's very likely Zodiark will be gone for good because all who will know of its existence will be gone or will refuse to ever speak of it to anybody else (us and the Scions). Plus at the end of 5.3, it's mentioned that "the final battle for the fate of this star" is approaching. Meaning that's it, we're not getting any more "fate of the world" scenarios after this, so Zodiark is permanently going to be dealt with, it's not going to come back after this.

So apparently Void quests in Japanese

"Void Revival Plan"

is one of the most aggressively Japanese phrases I've heard in some time.

So the speculation is true then?

We're going to bring back the 13th using Eden?

I doubt it's eden related, you don't have to even touch E1 to unlock them

But why would creation magic drain aether from the planet when they use internal resources?

But they don't use internal resources they draw on aether around them. Using internal aether to do creation magic would be killing yourself to make something new. They are clearly abusing creation magic and aether.
